Grey background, black mannequin head. The head wears a hand knit hat of blues and greens with cables growing up the sides.
First finish of 2026! This is the Xanthous Hat by Triona Murphy. I knit this in Malabrigo Mecha. It was a fun & interesting knit. I'll be teaching this as a class at Cozy in Eugene later this month.

In front of the Christmas tree there is the top third of a hand knitted vest in progress. The colors are blues, greens, and browns. Sitting on the in progress vest is a pink copy of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The vibes are perfect.
Christmas Eve Cast On with my Christmas Eve book. It's a good day.
Cast on is the Celestial Ōshen Vest by Ōshen Knits, and I'm using random stash yarns.

A light grey background shows off pink and dark grey yarn and a knitting project in progress. Braided stitches and pink/grey stripes on knitting needles are centered.
🧶 Playing around with Latvian Braid this morning. So twisty, but so worth it. I'm scheming on a bonnet pattern...we will see how it goes.

🧶 I have just over 500 followers on Instagram. I have just over 100 followers here. I like it here better, but I can't just leave that many followers for my business.
🧶 I'm a knitwear designer & knitting teacher. Sometimes I need test knitters.

A felted wool bag, with an arched handle, sits on a rust and white table in front of a wall. The bag is muted cream with purple, pink, and gold speckles. A book, some pink knitting needles, and brown yarn peek out of the top of the bag.
A finished photo of my felted bag. I wish I could post the feeling of well-felted, squishy handles. This project was just a moment of desire to make something with instant gratification. It is now one of my new favorite things.

Blue and white mosaic knitting pattern fills the frame. The right side is the "right" side and the left side is the "wrong" side.
🧶 I have been having fun playing with both sides of mosaic knitting. Keep you why on this because it's going to be a pattern soon and it's going to need test knitting. 🧶

23 pairs of hand knit socks hang on a laundry line in front of a white sheet. The socks are a variety of colors and styles. An oak tree shades this merry group.
It's sock washing day! 🧦
24 pairs of hand knit socks have been washed and are drying. When it becomes wool sock weather again, all my socks will be ready to go.
I see yarn from Always Be Kind Yarn, KnittedWit, Sunrise Fiber Co., Yarn Cafe Creations, and more.

A life -size knitted octopus sits in a white deck chair at a swimming pool. Her head and mantle are 18" tall. She has a 48" arm span.
A life-size knitted octopus lounges on the deck of a pool on a summer day. She is inscrutable.
I finished my octopus and here she is. Her name is Ophelia Maud Montgomery. #knitting #thingsyoucanknit #needlefoxarts
Photo of a dark red cup of chai, an orange and blue knitting project in progress, and the edge of a tablet with illegible text on a white screen. There is no indication of what the knitting project will be. Stay posted.
A quiet hour at Portal Tea for some design work. My youngest is working on a final paper across the table from me. The feelings are good and the knitting is flowing.

A green shawl knitted from handspun yarn wrapped on a mussel and barnacle covered coastal rock. The weather is beautiful.
I'm thinking of hosting a Civitas Spiralis KAL with prizes. It's a fun and quick knit. Would you participate?
Comment yes or no!

Thoughts on mending. Just *some* of my thoughts on mending.

A beige sweater in a semi - finished state of mending. One grey elbow patch and one hole darned with brown mending wool.
After a loose fill on two nasty elbow holes, some contrast patches make everything look neat and tidy. I can't wait to show this visible mending project in its finished state.

Reading the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff has a lot of lovely wisdom in my head and heart.
